Main summary
Key takeaways
Destiny 2 Hunter Build
The video presents a Prismatic Hunter build designed to melt Champions and other high-health enemies in difficult content, including -30/-50 activities and Grandmaster gameplay. Its core strategy is to stack weapon buffs, enemy debuffs, and frequent ability use. The creator estimates nearly 250% in combined weapon damage bonuses, before accounting for debuffs such as Tether, Jolt, and Unravel.
Build Highlights
- Class ability — Acrobat’s Dodge: Grants Radiant to the Hunter and nearby allies, boosting weapon damage. Paired with Ascension, it also Jolts nearby enemies and grants Amplified.
- Threaded Specter: Creates a decoy that draws enemy fire.
- Fast ability cycling: Elemental buffs, artifact effects, and armor mods help regenerate class ability energy. The creator recommends 100 class-ability stat and says Dodge can return roughly every 10 seconds.
- Crowd control and Champion coverage: Withering Blade and Duskfield Grenade help freeze or slow targets. Slow can stun Overload Champions; freezing and shattering can stun Unstoppable Champions. Tether handles groups and applies a substantial damage debuff.
- Fragments and Transcendence: The selected fragments support faster class-ability recharge, damage reduction while surrounded, weapon reloads after freezing or suppressing targets, and extra damage from shattering frozen enemies. Use Transcendence as soon as it is available for added damage and survivability, then throw its grenade and use Withering Blade.
Weapons
- Strand primary: Identified in the subtitles as Lethal Abundance. It applies Unravel to groups and helps create Tangles.
- Wavesplitter: The main special weapon. Suppression and artifact bonuses increase its damage, while its sustained damage helps trigger additional effects.
- Doom Petitioner: The heavy weapon. Reconstruction and Precision Instrument are cited as useful perks, and artifact support further boosts its damage.
Stats, Artifact, and Armor
Aim for 100 class-ability stat, then get weapon stats as close to 200 as possible for the stated damage and ammo benefits. The creator also recommends high Super, melee, and grenade stats to speed up ability recovery.
The artifact provides class-ability energy from explosions, Super energy from weapon kills, bonuses for beam rifles against debuffed enemies, and extra damage effects involving Unravel and Tangles. Armor mods support damage, ability recovery, orb generation, and special and heavy ammo. Choose chest damage-resistance mods to suit the activity.
Survivability and Tether
The build layers damage resistance from its Void shield, Amplified, the decoy drawing fire, Transcendence, and armor effects. It is presented as a balance of strong damage and durability.
Use Shadowshot: Deadfall frequently; the build is designed to recharge it quickly. Anchor bosses when possible so the Tether follows them, and use it to weaken groups.
Sponsor Segment
The video also features Exterminauts, described as a three-player co-op PvE shooter set on an alien planet. The creator highlights its varied alien enemies, power-tool weapons with an overdrive system, and build options—including a lightning-focused setup. The game has no PvP, and viewers are encouraged to wishlist it on Steam.
